کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

He will be the Imam of the Muslims in Jerusalem, and he will be sent to Egypt and the people of Iraq, seeking them from them and not coming to him. His mail passes through the city of Homs, and he finds that its Persians have closed off the descendants of the Muslims there. This magnifies him, so he travels with the Muslims present with him until he meets them on the plain of Akka. He fights them, and Allah defeats them. The Muslims seek them until they join them in their country. He goes to Homs, and Allah conquers it at his hands.

The Romans will enter the Holy House with seventy crosses until they demolish it, and obedience will continue to be practiced as long as the caliphate is in the land of Jerusalem and the Levant. The first coast that Allah will be angry with will be eclipsed by Al-Sarfiyya, Caesarea, and Beirut. The Romans and the Levant will rule for forty days from the seashore to the Jordan and Beit Shean. Then the Muslims will gain victory over them. They will reconcile it until their authority over them runs out, and the entire earth will be secure for seven-nine days.
